KAS Media Africa invites journalists to submit their work for the 2026 Local Journalism Award. Local journalism is the heartbeat of communities, telling the stories that reflect lived realities, shape public understanding, and connect local perspectives to national and global events.
We welcome print, online, audio, video features, and innovative social media journalism projects that showcase the importance of local reporting and meet high journalistic standards.
Eligibility:
- Work must have been published in 2025.
- Submissions can be in English or French.
- Each entry should include a brief description of the story’s background, the platform where it was published, and audience response
Deadline & Submission:
All submissions must be sent by 5 January 2026 to: kasmediaafrica@gmail.com
The three winners will each receive an invitation to the Local Journalism Conference in Malawi in February 2026, organised by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s Regional Media Programme for Sub-Saharan Africa, along with a financial recognition to support their projects.
